 arts that put this area on the map. Amish women work very painstakingly at finding beautiful fabrics, matching and piecing them together, and hand quilting them extremely carefully with as many stitches per inch as possible.
The quilts we feature – therefore, the quilt that you are contemplating purchasing—are true works of art. They tend to be unique. The average quilt has between 400 – 800 hours of work plowed into its creation. All quality quilts also have at least 50,000 separate stitches as well. As is the case with all other works of art, your quilt may become an heirloom and will only increase in value.
The problem is one of supply and demand. The demand for quilts, particularly Amish-made quilts, keeps increasing, but the number of expert quilters isn’t rising in proportion. So “un-expert” suppliers have cropped up to try to meet that demand. Watch for slogans like “Amish pattern” or even “Amish quilt”. If the seller doesn’t expressly say that the quilt was made by an Amish woman, chances are most likely it wasn’t.
We are passionate about authenticity and trust. So when we say that our quilts are the real thing made by genuine Amish craftswomen, we mean it. If requested, we will send a Certificate of Authenticity with every Amish-made purchased quilt and/or any purchased quilted item over $5.00 in value.
